Pipe styles may consist of multiple lines, as indicated by the definition of each pipe style, accessible from the List of Values pane of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program. The PID.MLN file, in the Install>AutoCAD>Bin directory, contains definitions of the style of multiple lines, for example, the number of lines and the distances between them. Any line style that is defined as a multiple line must have its multiple line properties defined in the PID.MLN file.
By default, the PID.MLN file contains definitions of Standard, Main Pipe, Sub Pipe and Link styles. For each of these there separate entries for both metric and imperial measurements. Modify this file as required to edit the style of the existing multi-lines and to define the style of new ones.
For details on how to edit the PID.MLN file, refer to the appropriate AutoCAD documentation.
